Wood Vinyl Privacy Fence

What's Included In Installation

Every fence installation includes proper site preparation, utility marking, and township permit coordination. We handle the paperwork so you don’t have to figure out what forms Ridley Park requires.

You get professional-grade materials whether you choose wood privacy fencing, vinyl, or chain link. We’re not buying contractor-grade materials from the big box stores – we source from suppliers who understand what holds up in this climate.

Installation includes proper post depth for local soil conditions, level installation, and complete cleanup. We bring the equipment needed to do the job right, including power augers for consistent post holes and levels that ensure your fence looks professional when we’re done.

Do I need a permit for fence installation in Ridley Park?

Yes, most fence installations in Ridley Park require a permit from the township. The requirements depend on fence height, location, and style, but we handle all the permit paperwork as part of our service. We know exactly what documentation Ridley Park requires, including property surveys and setback measurements. This saves you the hassle of figuring out township requirements and ensures your fence meets all local codes. Getting permits upfront prevents problems later if you sell your home or have property disputes with neighbors.

How long does fence installation take in Ridley Park?

Most residential fence installations take 1-3 days depending on the size of your property and fence type. Wood privacy fences typically take longer than chain link because of the additional materials and precision required. Weather can affect timing, especially for concrete setting, so we’ll give you realistic expectations based on current conditions. We don’t rush installations because proper post depth and alignment are critical for long-term durability. The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, but we handle that coordination so you don’t have to track down township approvals.

What type of fence works best for privacy in Ridley Park?

Wood privacy fences and vinyl privacy fences are the most effective options for complete privacy. Wood gives you a natural look that fits well with Ridley Park’s neighborhood character, while vinyl offers lower maintenance and consistent appearance over time. Height matters too – 6-foot fences provide full privacy for most situations, though township regulations limit maximum height in different areas of your property. We’ll explain what heights are allowed in your specific location and recommend the best material based on your maintenance preferences and budget.

How deep do fence posts need to be in Ridley Park soil?

Post depth depends on fence height and local soil conditions, but typically 2-3 feet deep for most residential fences in this area. Ridley Park’s soil composition requires proper concrete setting to prevent frost heave and settling over time. We use power augers to ensure consistent hole depth and diameter, which is critical for fence stability. Corner posts and gate posts need deeper holes because they handle more stress. Proper post installation is the foundation of fence longevity – shortcuts here cause problems later with sagging, leaning, or complete fence failure.

What's the difference between wood and vinyl fencing costs?

Vinyl fencing typically costs more upfront but requires virtually no maintenance over its lifetime. Wood fencing has lower initial costs but needs periodic staining or sealing to maintain appearance and prevent rot. Over 10-15 years, the total cost difference often evens out when you factor in wood maintenance. Vinyl won’t warp, split, or fade, while wood gives you more design flexibility and a natural appearance that many homeowners prefer. We’ll break down both options with realistic long-term costs so you can make the right choice for your situation and budget.

Can you install fences in winter in Ridley Park?

Yes, we can install fences during winter months, though timing depends on ground conditions and weather. Frozen ground makes post hole digging more challenging and concrete setting takes longer in cold temperatures. We use techniques adapted for winter installation, including ground thawing methods when necessary and cold-weather concrete mixes. Some fence types work better than others for winter installation – we’ll recommend the best approach based on current conditions. Winter installation often means better scheduling availability and sometimes better pricing, so it can be a good option if you’re flexible on exact timing.
